Once in awhile....a zillion IE browsers open

Have tried to see a pattern of behavior, and can't. Once in awhile..I click on a hyperlink..and I'll get like 60 IE windows of the same page...... oneaftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheother
aftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheotheraftertheother.

You see my point.
What causes this?

Not sure of the cause, but you might try resetting IE.

You can do this by clicking start>control panel>network & internet>internet options>advanced>click reset

This may help you. Let us know if this works.

I've never experienced that kind of situation.

Perhaps our admins or mods can contribute to this topic.

I have only seen this with mailto: hyperlinks, if this is the case then the following tutorial will fix it- Windows Mail - MailTo link error
